Speaker 3: She's had a decent sleeping.

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: I'll be right there, she really did. It was a

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: late night for all of us.

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: What was happening last night?

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Oh boy? Uh, just you know, just a random cold,

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: you know.

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: And it's also settling into the time zone can be

62
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: quite hard for the kids as well.

63
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Ever exactly, but it's nothing, you know, it's okay, we're

64
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: doing good and we're all together, which is again one

65
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: of the things that you know, why this charity is

66
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: Ronald McDonald House Charities is so close to my heart

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: because for people that don't know and help seriously ill

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: or injured children stay with their families, stay close together

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: while they're undergoing treatment or surgeries or whatever it may

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: be in a hospital. And again I know this firsthand

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: because my cousin's baby, when he was only one, he

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: had he had neuroblastoma. And thank god he's seven now

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: and he's in remission. But you know, there was a

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: time where it was just obviously so frightening and we

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: were like what can we do? She had to move

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: to New York for some treatment, and I said, I know,

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: New York, what can I do? I'll get you a

78
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: place with anything, you know, And she said, no, I'm

79
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna stay at the Ron McDonald house. And I thought, really,

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: like that was my first introduction to it. And she said, yeah,

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: it's amazing. You have families that are going through similar things.

82
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: The kids love it. You stay together, and she that

83
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: was a big move. I was like, wow, this must

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: be the real deal. So, you know, in twenty twenty,

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, I was the ambassador, but I was still

86
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I was in LA because we couldn't travel because well

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: it was twenty twenty, and that's when we did the interview.

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: I can't recall with you. It was good.

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: Wait, a good time, A good time.

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: Really okay, that's what you say, no, and then and

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: then but now I'm back, I'm here and to you know,

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, I met the family via zoom then and

93
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: of course it was amazing, but it wasn't anything like

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: actually being with the family. So I'm here. I'm going

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: to be at Macca's on November nineteenth for mccafy Days.

96
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: That's where you can buy your silly stocks which are

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: actually pretty no, and you're helping hands for two dollars,

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Billy sucks for five dollars. And then uh, you can

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: make deliveries. I mean you can. You can get what

100
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: is it, it's mixed delivery over here, yes, right, get

101
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: Macca's Macasca mixed delivery. And then we use every big

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: mach you buy two dollars from that goes to our gooes,

103
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: to our charity. So a lot of different ways you

104
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: can give and a great excuse to have a big mac.

105
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: You actually delivered macas really well.

106
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: The Australian line, I've been working on it, working on it.

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: Just on your voice with that you did you did

108
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: you lend your voice to Bluey the Great Australian Animation Show?

109
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Damn right? Yeah?

111
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: What did you?

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Well? I literally had one line. I think it was

113
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: like and I played a yoga instructor. That's they were

114
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: a yoga instructor on TV. So I had one line

115
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: and it was so sweet because my manager called me

116
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, it wasn't even a call

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: with an email. I was like, can I just pass

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: on this? Some kids show named Louie they want one

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: line like almost offended, you know, I said what I said? No, no, no,

120
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll do anything for Blue. I'll do anything for boys.

121
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: We're big in our house, and we we it's just

122
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: such a beautiful show. It's actually so deep. We're quite

123
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: touched by it.

124
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: So the girls love Blue.

126
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh, the girls and us the parents. Yeah.

127
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: Have the girls seen any of your movies either, or

128
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Dad's movies? No?

129
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: No, like that. Well, we haven't exactly you know, done

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: done Pixar films. I don't know what hitch though, couldn't

131
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: they that's no, I think it might be weird. It's

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: a bit too romantic. I think they might be very

133
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: confused by that.

134
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 3: You know, a bit of a jump from Bluie, isn't it.

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a job. Yeah, yeah, but I'm

136
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: working on it. We're working on hopefully trying to do

137
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: something they can see.

138
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,600

140
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: you would love to? Keepe acting a little bit further

141
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: down the track when the girls are a bit older.

142
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, for a great role. I was just you know,

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: I took time off to be with the kids because

144
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: they were just so little. Now there's Niggs and our

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: older one just turned eight. But it's also because you know,

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: can I say a bad word or no? No, there's

147
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: some pretty roles being offered. Is he taking them? I

148
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: would thick of it. I said, you know what, it's

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: not worth it. You know, if I'm going to go

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: away for a few months and be, you know, i'd

151
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: better be something that's that's damn good.

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: So but when when that happens, and you know, your

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: manager might say, hey, we've been approached. Can I send

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: through the script? How far do you often get through

155
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: a script before you go? No? Way? Forget about it?

156
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: Is there like a one pager that's a brief on

157
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,920
